Kick up the classic combination of chicken, rosemary, and potatoes ever so slightly. The bird is rubbed with butter, salt, and -- the secret ingredient -- cornstarch. It's the key to the crunchy-crisp goodness of the skin. The potatoes, tossed with olive oil, develop a pale-golden crust while staying delectably tender within.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 russet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise, 3/4 inch thick
Coarse salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 small bunch fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cook potatoes in salted boiling water until tender, 11 to 13 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pot, and shake over low heat to dry and fluff. Coat with oil, and season with salt.
  • Mix together 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cornstarch. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub skin with butter, and season with salt mixture. Stuff some rosemary into cavity. Pile remaining rosemary on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place chicken, breast side up, on rosemary, and tuck wings under. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Scatter potatoes around chicken. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and flip potatoes. Return to oven, rotating sheet. Roast until chicken juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. If potatoes aren't golden, toss with rosemary, and return to oven.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 lb red potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and generously oil 2 large baking sheets.
  • Arrange potatoes in 1 layer on sheets. Brush tops with oil and sprinkle with rosemary and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roast potatoes in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and edges are crisp, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better during roasting, making them ideal for crispy potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This ensures even cooking and browning.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings before roasting: This helps them crisp up and develop flavor.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet: This promotes even cooking and prevents steaming.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This helps them crisp up quickly.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting: This ensures even browning.
  • Add fresh herbs and spices towards the end of roasting: This prevents them from burning and ensures maximum flavor.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when hot and crispy.

Crispy rosemary potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, snack, or appetizer.
